After the alliance between Egypt and the USSR American World Bank refused to finance the construction of the Aswan dam and President Nasser decided to nationalize Suez Canal, announced this July 26, 1956, closing access to Israeli shipping and all boat bound for the Zionist state. The Egyptian document directly affected the interests of Israel (of which Egypt did not recognize its existence) and those of Great Britain and France (the company which manages the canal was just French). On 22 October 1956, at Sevres, met secretly Zionist Prime Minister Ben Gurion, the French counterpart Mollet and British Foreign Secretary Lloyd, here are plotting together against the coming attack on Egypt and establish control over the Channel to France England and in case of victory. It seems that France agreed to supply Israel with nuclear weapons it.

Using as a pretext the concentration of armored forces in Sinai, Israel began on October 29 the military operation against Nasser, under the command of Moshe Dayan, whose troops outperforming the Arab soldiers who retreat of 120 km in the hands of the Zionist left Gaza and Sinai as well as a significant military equipment of Soviet origin. On 31 October the quota of the Zionist General blindfolded [1] reached 30 km from the canal and some Jewish troops occupy Sharm al Sheik and the four islands of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqabah Sanafir; in this way, Israel had managed to free the 'access to its port of Elat. It seems over here, in a very short time Egypt has been outclassed by the Zionist armed force with which they have obtained their goal: restoring the landing craft on its territory. However, France and Great Britain decided to enter the scene at the end of October with the pantomime of the ultimatum to Israel and Egypt, intimate retreat of 16 km on both banks of the Suez Canal within 12 hours, the Jews of course accepted as Nasser refused. The resolution of the Arab leader provoked the "stroke of genius" Anglo-French violation of the Tripartite Declaration [2] international standards and destroyed the entire Egyptian air force on the ground and from November 5 to Port Said and Port Faudo elements parachuted of the European contingent began its advance along the river channel scope with the intention to stay in Ismailia. The dumb move by governments Eden and Mollet unleashed the condemnation of the Security Council UN and the reaction of the Soviet Union prepared even to an intervention of force against the occupying forces. Fearful of a possible World War Eisenhower pressed the allies to end the military action by clarifying that the U.S. would not intervene on their behalf in the event of Soviet attack. Thus, in the international shame, the Franco-British contingent stopped at Al-Qantara November 7 completing the second Arab-Israeli conflict and sealing the collapse of diplomatic aggressor countries, while winning militarily.

Nasser emerged politically stronger having gained the support of Third World countries, the support of Syria and Saudi Arabia - who blocked Zionist oil supplies to the country - and showing, on your skin, all over the world aggression and arrogance of Israel that this time the eyes of many countries will lose the aura of sacred land given to it by the tragedy of the Holocaust. [3] The conflict Nasser officially credited as a major pan-Arab anti-Western leader. The big political defeat was the British Prime Minister Anthony Eden who, with such "undertaking" signed his political death, forced to resign in 1957 because of the discredited internationally and domestically, he retired to private life.

UN - mainly thanks to the joint effort of the USSR and U.S. peacemaking - was able to prove a viable institution, set up an emergency (the UN peacekeepers) to be distributed among the Egyptian-Israeli borders, established by the armistice of 1949 and managed to ensure freedom of navigation through the Straits of Tiran in the Gulf of Aqabah. On 23 December 1956 Anglo-French they decided to evacuate Egypt and Israel from the Sinai and Gaza a year later.
